Buckeye class of '17 now ranked first in Big Ten

After flipping Kyle Young from Butler and adding a commitment from a reclassifying Musa Jallow, Ohio State now has the top-rated 2017 recruiting class in the Big Ten according to 247Sports.com.

In updated ratings posted Monday afternoon, 247Sports elevated the Buckeyes past Purdue in its composite rankings. All three members of the class are listed as four-star recruits: Westerville South center Kaleb Wesson, Massillon (Ohio) Jackson's Young and Bloomington (Ind.) North's Jallow. Initially a member of the class of 2018, Jallow will graduate early and enroll at Ohio State in August.

Nationally, the class is ranked 24th, three spots ahead of the Boilermakers.

Scout.com does not list the Buckeyes among the top 30 classes in the country. Rivals.com and ESPN have not updated their class of 2017 rankings since late May and early June, respectively, and neither features Ohio State.

The team's class for 2017 had been comprised of Wesson and Braxton Beverly, a point guard from Chatham (Va.) Hargrave Military Academy who has since asked for and received his release from the program.

Ohio State's class of 2016 was ranked No. 8 in the Big Ten by 247Sports.
